Comment(by pbrobinson):

 Replying to [ticket:3478 HoboPrimate]:
 > To test:
 >
 > Press F6
 > Frame opens/closes and cursor disappears
 >
 > Move cursor over an icon
 > Palette reveals and cursor disappears
 >
 > If the frame and palettes are now using gtk3, that possibly could be the
 problem. I have a sis graphic chip for which there is no hardware
 aceleration support in linux, but starting from Fedora 17, Gnome 3.4
 enables for these situations some kind of software backed composition.

 the software composition is only used in gnome-shell with mutter so
 doesn't affect sugar as it uses metacity for the underlying windows
 manager. The core sugar shell is also still using gtk2. There's currently
 3 Activities in SoaSv7 that use gtk3 - Browse, Read, Abacus.

 I also can't see the loss of the cursor when running in a KVM VM or as a
 real F-17 OS install. How are you running sugar?
